KKSlider60's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[AA - Where Are You?]

Nice

Indeed a nice composition, though synthetic. I would improve that piano sound... dunno, sounds too bright, almost without reverb (don't mind me, I'm a reverb freak),

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Lol . People don't seem to take to easy with the bit of chaos in my music, but it's me, so I will continue doing it til they like it . =P That piano is supposed to be bright, it represents the night skies, and stars >: Every single instrument, sound I use REPRESENTS something in my mind . Remember that ^^ .

[AA - Ashes]

A depressive reality

And sadly, on the newscasts everyday. Musically, I can always count on your avant-garde/abstract style, while this piece in particular holds a lot of meaning.
One suggestion: submit something without putting a detailed description. Let's see how people will react ;)

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Aww, but stories are awesome >: Music isn't that good, unless you display what you saw, then when people listen to it their mind makes them see the alternatives, as such . ^^ . Thankyou for the review =P .

[AA - Brown Town]

Brown Town

The monk-like voices caught up my attention more than the rest, dunno why. xD
They're like saying something I can't understand yet. Good amount of mystery, too

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Thanks, =P . Glad ATLEAST some people see the particles of light within my music, and not the fact it's not what you hear everyday . People just can't seem to accept difference, I myself would be so happy if I cam across myself, and listened to my music . Music that I never heard before is the best :3 . =P

[AA - Stardust]

Lol

We already talked about it :D

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Lol . I know =P, still 0 bombers came in last night, fucked up the score .. So.. Want me to make another ambient song just to make sure I don't let this album down ? :3

[AA - Milkyway]

Awesome

You know space is one of my passions, right? XD
The echoing piano seems like the floating gas dust surrounding a galaxy, while the background pad reminds me of the giant supervoids between clusters of galaxies. If only we could build a satellite which travels at the speed of light, and take a shot of our Milky Way...

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Lol . Thankyou =D The next song that is coming in will be very twisted, but still hold the essentials I wish of it to consist of =D Goodluck, :3

[RD2010 AA - Mechanical Defeat]

Robotic frenzy

It's a mix of different styles... a bit of ambient, noise/glitch music, minimalism, and industrial. Die hard fans of those genre will surely enjoy this. I want to add something to gotoAndKill's review: not only people doesn't care of your efforts, but there's always people that hates you for some reason as well as someone who, in a more or less rational manner, tries to establish a relationship.
That's the price of being among the public. :)
If you learn to not care about them whatever you do, it's a good sign.
KKS

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Sometimes I am curious why our own race is against us, even though we aren't even a problem, let alone being a stranger to these individuals .. Thanks for the review =D Kind of surprised that it was a 8 though >: . =P

[AA - Luminous Shadows]

Great

I had the impression, 'til the third variation, of being in a dark PSone or even SNES game, maybe survival horror I dunno. :)
And that's a good thing since this is basically dark ambient. I see some improvements here: there's a good theme in there and also a nice build-up/progression. Nice choose of the instruments also. ^^
KKS

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Thankyou, again :3. This song is doing alot better than the other one . ^^'

[AA - I'm Sorry]

Soothing

It's effectively calming in its shortness, almost like a lullaby. Well done,
KKS

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Thankyou, I wonder why people didn't like it : /

[AA - Time Goes By]

Nice

It comes near to what I'm looking for my audio collab. Easily the best among your tracks.
KKS

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Why thankyou, I can make plenty of this . I was just focusing on complex designs lately . Lol . :3

[AA - Dreams]

Hmm

This effort rather leaves me confused. I don't know if it's a matter of different styles and possibly different musical approaches, but it seems here that there's more concept behind than music. Or at least that's what I think.

I've noticed one thing about your musical style, it's not a critique, I'm just saying what I think: let's put aside the "strange" side (like people would probably perceive) and let's focus more on the instruments and structure; now, Ambient is supposed to be background music, possibly beatless, soothing and slow paced. Brian Eno once said "Ambient could be both listened carefully or totally ignored, but it must be at least interesting" - By listening to your tracks, you're definitely more Dark Ambient-oriented (and that's good xD), but what bothers me a bit is that they sound like unpolished ideas (musically talking) and maybe too much harsh to be considered Ambient.

Sorry if I was too hard on you this time, it ain't my intention. Keep improving yourself,
KKS

AphoticAthanasy responds:

It's ok . I am here to improve, are I not ? I see what you mean .. I am improving everyday . Did you know this is only my 15th day ever on this program ? I only been making music for 15 days, not even a month . I know I can do better, which I will be pouring alot of my talent into a song to show everyone my apologies soon . Look out for it, I should have it by tomorrow . ^^; Now, yes . I am dark ambient . The mind is a very complex structure, that nobody can even relate too . Yet, it in itself is in a simple form . ^^ . Remember, darkness was here before anything else .. Light is merely the reflection of all colours in a wavelength, and since colours are percieved through the retinas of our eyes, our mind is truely a dark place . Doesn't mean its evil .. It's just a mellow side of light . ^^
